Explain the trend in first ionisation energies across a period.

There is a general increase in the ionisation energy as we move across a period. This is because the the number of shielding electrons is constant and the atomic number increases, which means the effect...

Why does ionisation energy increase across a period?

As you go across the period, the nuclear charge (or number of protons increase) but the shielding (or the number of shells) stays the same as all of the elements are on the same period. This causes the nu...

When vaporised, isotopes of an element can be separated in a mass spectrometer. Name the three processes that occur in a mass spectrometer before the vaporised isotopes can be detected. State how each process is achieved. (6 marks)

Once the sample is vaporised, high energy electrons are fired at the sample which knocks off a loosely held electron. (1) This step is known as election impact ionisation. (2) Due to the presence of a cha...

How do you classify an alkene using Cahn-Ingold-prelog rules

First, look at each of the groups connected to the two carbon atoms in the double bond. Rank these groups by priority based on the atomic mass of the atom connected to the alkene carbon. If both of the he...
